Well, maybe Saladin, Observer, Chuxxr, Ron Schwab, Rabidog, steelybob, Michael Hanson and Jack Buckman can investigate this death (where there's "obvious signs of foul play") since they have such a distrust for law enforcement. You know, the cops will probably lie, and you guys know so much about what they do.

And make sure no overtime is paid because they're probably just taking advantage of the taxpayers. This will just have to wait for the investigators to come to work on Monday morning

And how dare they close off that road and inconvience the citizens of this County.

Analyst: I could not have said it better myself! All of those listed think the police officers are corrupt and not worthy of their salary. You so correctly pointed out that when we need them- WE NEED THEM. This is a 3 day weekend for most people, and this investigation cannot wait until Monday morning. I wonder how many of those officers/investigators had plans with their families today??

This isn't the right story to be making petty comments guys. It shows a serious lack of class on your part.

Someone was killed... show some respect.

Analyst, I like the list. Remind them that those overpaid, overcompensated detectives probably had to drive from their homes, whether they live in Sacramento, Roseville, citrus heights, all the way to Auburn to get their county car where they keep their equipment and drive to the scene. Process it, and then do the unenviable task of locating and notifying the next of kin of the death. I'm sure the ones on your list have to do something just as tragic on the independence day weekend.

Oops. Sorry Saladin. We will wait for permission from you next time on what subjects you deem appropriate. By the way, the comments weren't adressed in any way about her tragic death. It was regarding the ignorance (not stupidity, know the difference) of those listed by analyst.

Saladin: You are right. After the post, I realized my error in commenting on this story. As much as I want to defend my position, this was not the time. Harley: You are a contradiction. I have no idea what your position is??? You first state they are overpaid,... but then seem to have compassion about notifying next of kin.

govikes: No problem. We can argue about the police at another time.

It was sarcasm. People comment on how they perceive county employees being overcompensated but many of those same people do not deal with the horror of their jobs.

I would never make light of a policemans job. I have been at the home of an officer while he was getting ready for work. He was playing with his kids while he strapped on his BP vest. Makes you think....

Thank you Dan for doing what must have been difficult. Although i am releived to know she did not appear to be a current or former student I am guilted by that feeling as I know some one else is grieving.

Twisted logic. Win your argument at the expence of another humans tragedy.

OH, I just found out what happened. The PCSO and the APD planted the body there because they "didn't have anything better to do" and got tired of being criticized for stopping speeders, and needed to justify their paychecks.

Analyst: I love the way you think! All of these babies crying about speeding tickets. Hey I have an idea- stop speeding!

Yeah vic, the same logic others had when Micheal Jackson died, when they said that little boys can sleep better at night now. I would love to see the people I listed put that young girl in a body bag like the officers have to do. They couldn't do it. Yet they are right there to tell everyone how poorly the cops do their jobs. I would love to see one of those that I listed go to that young girl's parents and tell them that their daughter is not coming home again, because well, the cops will lie, and they can do it better.

Yes, this is a very sad story and not time to be making fun. On the other hand, way to go analyst! I could not have said it better myself.

Vicmarkey, was anyone making fun of anyone? I was under the impression a logical argument was just that and didn't require a death. I hope I misunderstood you. No matter how you slice it, the cops, victim, & family of the victim as well as the town of Loomis lose.

Analyst, you hit the proverbial nail right on its leftist, 'useful idiot' head.

Bravo. Suddenly, the gaggle of idiots isn't so vocal.

The death of a young woman in her twenties is not something to make light of.

The "the ones on your (analyst's) list" have justifiably commented on the past about the questionable practices of, primarily, the APD. How sad that you three, no make that two (govikes 123 had the sense to see that these comments are out of line), no make it three again as MPOS21 has weighed in, had to take a tragedy and make it a forum on your knee-jerk, cops-are-right-no-matter-what, black/white (no racial pun intended) world. Pathetic. Thank you to those who saw this for what it is, a tragedy, not some wingnut playground...

I first want to stay out of the argument with all of the above, but wanted to add to the Analyst, I don't know where you get your information or knowledge from, but the officers are not the ones who put the body in the body bag it is the transporters, and people who work at the morgue who do that dirty work, and by dirty work, I mean sad work. Yes the officers help us sometimes., and I have the utmost respect for them. It seems like the transporters and pathologist along with their assistants don't get any recognition for the jobs they have to do. There is more to the job than the public think, lets give recognition to the others who have to deal with these terrible situations too. You have no idea what we have to work with. So stop arguing.

Signed, The person who does put the body in the body bag.

The news release said, "“I was shocked when I got the call this morning. I was concerned that it was a Del Oro student, past or present, but it doesn’t seem to be,” Gayaldo said. Imagine that feeling going around Del Oro and other area schools right now among students, family, and school staff.

I am sorry for that woman and her family and relatives. I think it is very very sad that young people going to school have to deal with violence and death. When I was younger nobody died at school. None of us writers probably have that experience at home and work. Violence is so common now that there is no shock value left. We can't even protect our children from it.

I do give recognition to those whose jobs have to do with violent crime. Imagine going to work and dealing with such ugliness and coming home and trying to be a good father or mother to their families. I am sure there is some cases that are so awful that you never forget them.

I think that when you lose the shock value of violence it means some of your humanity is lost too.

wow! i am shocked to know that i live in a community that focusses on winning his/her argument, than on the death of a human being.

It is shocking, isn't it? I pray to God that I never get the phone call these parents are going to get about my daughter. Sad.

do you all remember that weirdo stalker they use to have that haunted young women on the trails? they closed them for a while. think its the same guy? i dont remember if they ever got the culprit or not.

Crystal I agree. It is very sad. The victem here is the young lady that lost her life, not the police. Who knows what suffering she may have endured before she died. Her family and friends have months of suffering ahead of them as well. Sometimes I get homesick for the culture of the small rural north eastern state I grew up in. My father was a small town physcian and also served as the states chief medical examiner for many years. He would return home from some of these calls chalk white and our house would be very quiet for several days. Many of these midnight hours, including many hours he spent tending to and comforting the families of the victems, he was never compensated a penny for.

Completely inappropriate Analyst. I don't know what arguments proceeded your comment, and I don't have to, to know that this wasn't the place to do that. Usually you are more level headed and conscious of the feelings of family members on these articles. Perhaps if you posted a blog or wrote a letter the argument could be taken there, I cringe thinking of the family reading this article without one mention of condolences to the family, who no doubt are now aware of the murder of their loved one, and are instead treated to some form of ongoing argument which they are not a part of and do not need to be subjected to at this time. Some of you should read your posts and put yourselves in the shoes of the people who loved this girl who will most likely read them as well.

I hope whoever took this girl's life and had the callousness to leave her like they did is quickly apprehended and brought to justice, and I have faith in our Sheriff Department that this can be done. I am sorry to the family for your loss, and my apologies for the representation of our community that you see here, there is concern for the loss of this young woman, we do care, I assure you.

She was killed and dumped in loomis.

Handyman, I agree that it is "very very sad" that any of us in this community or any community would have to deal with a tragedy like this. However, I think it's worth noting that since 1994, the Justice Department has reported a 50% drop in violent crime rates and since 1973, the drop has been over 50%. I believe the 24 hour news cycle has created a culture of fear that is unwarranted based on crime data since the 1970s. The Auburn Journal's news coverage has been a by-product of this culture trying to sell news in an increasingly oversaturated market. I was shocked by this senseless act of violence, and I hope I never lose the sense of loss I felt this morning when I read this story. However, I have a resolute optimism in the youth this community is raising and strongly believe Loomis, Penryn, Newcastle, etc.. is a very very wonderful place to raise a child. My prayers go out to the family of this woman.

Thanks for being so caring, Lundberg. I believe in this community. It is a great place to live. I feel safe here. I am so glad you are shocked by this senseless act of violence. I think there are many caring people who live here.

I remember a high school friend working late. She died from 100+ knife wounds at an after school job. They never found her killer. Seeing her empty seat at school daily made everyone sad for months. Her desk was a reminder that such a younger person was a victim of violence. It was kinda similar to seeing those crosses on the road for drunk driver victims. I think people driving by Boyington Road won't forget that this person was someone's child, daughter and maybe mother to young children. Each life is of value.

The National Center For Victims of Crime says, "Every crime has a victim. Every victim needs our help." If there is anyway to help her we should try to help.
